World Kebab Day History and Significance

World Kebab Day is an annual celebration of the delicious meat that is savoured by kids and adults alike! Kebabs are hugely popular because of their meaty texture, made by mixing a variety of spices that bring out the aromas. Kebabs are various cooked meat dishes, with their origins in Middle Eastern cuisine. Although kebabs are typically cooked on a skewer over a fire, some kebab dishes are oven-baked in a pan, or prepared as a stew such as tas kebab.

The word ‘kebab’ likely came to English in the late 17th century from the Persian kabāb, partly through Hindustani, and Turkish. According to linguist Sevan Nisanyan, the Turkish word ‘kebap’ is also derived from the Persian word kabab, which means roasted meat. For food enthusiasts, World Kebab Day is a perfect opportunity to experiment with new recipes and flavours. Happy World Kebab Day 2024 to all!
